Can browse to mdb from within access but not from explorer

The db crashed and when I rebooted I can open the file from ms/access using file open and the mru list but when I go to windows explorer the file is missing from the fileview window? I also tried to paste files from the desktop into the ms/access open file dialog box and got the same result, ms/access copies the file and I can see it in the folder but when I go to explorer its missing. I even right clicked and checked the path and the path is correct. Any ideas? Is it stored in some kind of a virtualized area? I tried setting UAC low but had no luck.

C:\program files(x86)\myapps
This is a protected area uac virtualization will put the file in
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Myapp\
